Vols. 1-3 are among the best stories I have ever read,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Tomb of Tut Ankh Amen: Volume 1: Search Discovery and the Clearance of the Antechamber (Duckworth Egyptology) (Paperback)
I first read the three volumes of this story 50 years ago. It was one of the greatest stories I had ever read, and still is. Carter wrote the three volumes in the off season between digs, partly to raise money from the sale of the books to continue his work. I felt like he was telling me day by day in real time (although of course time was speeded up, and I didn't have to wait a year between volumes like the original readers did). Imagine going for a year without knowing what would be found in the next area of the tomb. And remember, Carter didn't know, either.Duckworth has done a superb job of reprinting these books. The second time I read these books, probably 35 years ago, all I could find was a three-volumes-in one edition, with poor quality illustrations. This one is great.

If you want to know from the man who discovered Tutankhamun's grave, you have to buy this volume plus the other two.
